A Comprehensive Guide to the Oracle Technology Price List
Quick Summary:
The Oracle Technology Price List defines official software licensing costs, support pricing, and minimum requirements for Oracle products in 2026. Understanding how Named User Plus and Processor licensing models work is essential for accurate budgeting, compliance, and long-term cost control.
As organizations continue to rely on Oracle technologies to manage critical data and applications, understanding Oracle licensing remains essential to avoiding compliance risk and unexpected costs. Oracle licensing has not become simpler over time. With increased virtualization and hybrid deployments, licensing accuracy in 2026 is more important than ever.
Organizations rely on the Oracle Technology Price List to understand software costs, licensing metrics, and minimum requirements for Oracle software. This guide explains how Oracle pricing is structured and how licensing metrics are applied, using only pricing values published in Oracle’s Technology Price List.

The source price list is published in Japanese Yen (JPY). All USD values shown below are exact conversions using Oracle’s implied exchange rate of ¥155 = $1 USD, consistent with Oracle-published pricing.
Understanding Oracle’s Pricing Structure
Oracle software is licensed primarily using two models:
- Named User Plus (NUP)
- Processor-based licensing
Each model applies to different deployment scenarios and directly impacts compliance and cost.
Named User Plus (NUP) Licensing
Named User Plus licensing is based on the number of individuals or non-human entities authorized to access the software. This includes human users, service accounts, application users, and automated processes.
Oracle enforces minimum NUP requirements per processor, which must be met regardless of actual usage.
Processor-Based Licensing
Processor licensing applies to environments where user counts cannot be reliably measured. Licenses are required for each processor on which the software is installed or running.
Processor requirements are calculated according to Oracle’s processor counting rules and applicable core factors.

Oracle Support Pricing
Oracle Premier Support pricing is published directly in the Technology Price List and represents 22 percent of the net license fee. Support costs are billed annually and compound over time.
Common Licensing Pitfalls
Organizations frequently encounter compliance risk by misunderstanding processor counting rules, minimum NUP requirements, and product dependencies. Regular license reviews help reduce over-licensing and audit exposure.
Oracle Managed Services and Consulting Support
Understanding pricing is only one part of managing an Oracle environment. Many organizations engage Oracle managed services providers or Oracle consulting services firms to help interpret licensing rules, maintain compliance, and optimize long-term costs.
Oracle cloud managed services can assist with hybrid and cloud deployments, ensuring processor calculations, virtualization configurations, and support renewals align with Oracle policies. An experienced Oracle IT consultant can also help validate license positions, prepare for audits, and identify opportunities for consolidation or cost reduction across database, middleware, and integration products.
